I don't think anyone can dispute that the most positive word which can describe Ethiopia's election is "defective." But it gives PM Abiy a chance to pursue genuine national reconciliation and quickly bring Ethiopia together again. The nation needs that!

The great Eritrean people can be proud of gaining independence 35 years ago. But shame on the regime which has kept the nation as a prison camp and its citizens without rights. I hope Isaias does open to better US relations; that will speed his downfall.

So Ethiopia is caught between China and UAE regards Somaliland? As per Somaliland, Ethiopia should do what is in Ethiopia's interest - not China's or UAE's. And it seems Ethiopia, the world's largest landlocked nation, has reason to seek a secure port!

Hooray! Israel recognizes Somaliland! A great first step. Can the U.S. and Ethiopia be far behind? Opens a new chapter in Horn political and economic dynamics! The house of cards isolating Somaliland is collapsing! https://t.co/cJ7t4MeBuQ
Tragic to hear reports of all sides rattling sabers in the Horn of Africa. Renewed conflict of any type would be harmful to all concerned - Ethiopia's Federal Govt, Eritrea, Amhara groups, and Tigray groups. There would only be losers-Egypt would laugh!

Delighted that US will participate in Ethiopia's new Addis Ababa airport project to build Africa's largest airport near Bishoftu-allowing more aircraft to use it given much lower altitude. Good match for Ethiopian Airlines, one of world's best carriers.

Ethiopians disagree about a lot, but one event every Ethiopian can feel proud of is this week's inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, paid for by Ethiopians inside and around the globe. Shows the future potential for this great nation!
